LOL!!
I was just trying to inspire you. Do I get credit for mentioning someone from your side of the pond?
And yes Edel, dead as a doornail is one. |

Why are Doornails dead ?? they weren't exactly living to begin with. And why specifically "door" nails, are other nails more alive than the door variety ??
I think in fairness Gladly is using a form of comedy more suited to this side of the pond, for examples you should check out Blackadder.
"Blackadder, You twist and turn like a...twisty turny thingy"
or
Yes we're in a sticky situation, In fact it's more sticky than when Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun

from a google search:
Why door-nails are cited as a particular example of deadness isn't clear. Door-nails are the large-headed studs that were used in earlier times for strength and more recently as decoration. The practice was to hammer the nail through and then bend over the protruding end to secure it. This process, similar to riveting, was called clenching. This may be the source of the 'deadness', as such a nail would be unusable afterwards.
And Gladly, sadly, I don't know that people of a certain age know who Simon Pegg is.
And by the way are you calling me old??? |
